First Borderlands 2 DLC Is One For The Pirates

Arr!

Gearbox has announced the first downloadable content expansion for Borderlands 2 which will be titled ‘Captain Scarlett and her Pirate’s Booty’ (If you know what Amien) and will introduce players to a brand new area of Pandora called Oasis.

“You can sense the pirate theme across the landscape, even though there’s no water,” explains Gearbox president Randy Pitchford. “It’s all dried up. It feels more like Tatooine than an ocean. These bandits have really embraced the pirate lifestyle, and there’s the legend of a treasure. That kicks off this whole adventure that the players can go on.”

The new DLC which was first hinted at in some new achievements that popped up (no pun intended) upon installation of the Mechromancer DLC for the game, released earlier this week, is scheduled to release on October 16th, just next week.

Apart from the pirate queen herself, vault hunters can look forward to new enemies, a ‘Sand Skiff’ vehicle as well as a new currency called Seraph Crystals. There are also reports of new character heads for each class, additional bosses and more.
